旧约 - 利未记(Leviticus)第10章

And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.
And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.
And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.
And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled.
And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.
And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,
Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:
And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;
And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.
And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:
And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it is thy due, and thy sons' due, of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire: for so I am commanded.
And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they be thy due, and thy sons' due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.
The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the LORD; and it shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, by a statute for ever; as the LORD hath commanded.
And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron which were left alive, saying,
Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD?
Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place: ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.
And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things have befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD?
And when Moses heard that, he was content.
利未记第十章   第 10 章 

  拿答与亚比户 

  利 10:1> 神不会计较我们的身分地位,但不会容忍轻慢的态度…… 

  10:1 燔祭坛上的火,当永远点着不可熄灭( 6:12-13 ),表明它是神圣的。拿答和亚比户在神面前献上的凡火是什么呢?可能是他们二人从别处将炭火带到这坛上,是不圣洁的;也可能指二人不按主所规定的时间献祭。不管怎样,他们二人是滥用了祭司的职权而轻慢神,因为神刚刚才对他们详示过敬拜之道。他们身为领袖,就有顺服神的重任,以他们的地位,很容易领许多百姓走入歧途。如果神指派你去领导、教导人,你一定要先与祂亲近,遵从祂的吩咐。 

  利 10:2> 刑罚每每使我们警觉自己的处境…… 

  10:2 亚伦的这两个儿子,对于遵奉神的献祭条例太过随便,神就以火来烧灭,以示惩戒。献祭本来是顺服神的行为,做得一丝不苟表示对神的尊敬。我们对顺服神这件事,很容易随随便便地照自己的方式,不依照神的方式来行。人若以为不管什么方式都是一样的话,神就不必吩咐我们遵照祂的法则了。祂的吩咐总是饶有深意的,我们不管是有意或是无意地怠慢、不顺服祂,都会陷入危险的境地。 

  利 10:8-11> 这条诫命对今日担当重任的人,有什么鉴戒? 

  10:8-11 祭司进入会幕事奉以前,不可喝清酒浓酒。如果喝醉了酒,头脑不清醒,就会犯拿答与亚比户所犯的罪,使百姓的敬拜蒙污;此外,喝醉酒也没资格再去教导别人。要遵守神的命令,人就须有节制。异教有醉酒的习俗,以色列人的祭司却应当迥然有别。 

  利 10:10-11> 我们如何在生活中分别圣与俗? 

  10:10-11 这两节及 19 章 1 至 2 节经文是利未记的中心。十诫是神的基本律法(参出 20:1-17 )。利未记则作详尽的解释,增补了其他许多细则,帮助百姓在生活中应用。神颁赐律法的目的,是要叫他们明辨是非、分出圣俗。遵照神的律法来生活,百姓便能自然而然地分别为圣,将自己献上事奉祂。 

  利 10:16-20> 摩西为何向亚伦的儿子发怒? 

  10:16-20 为百姓献赎罪祭的祭司,照例该吃部分祭牲的肉,其余的烧在祭坛上( 6:24-30 )。亚伦剩下的两个儿子以利亚撒与以他玛,将赎罪祭牲整个烧了,没吃那祭牲的肉,摩西就向他们发怒。亚伦解释说,两个儿子因为兄长误献凡火刚刚被烧死,所以他们不能不谨慎,摩西这才明白二人并非不顺服神的命令,只是心中畏惧,又因所临到他们哥哥身上的灾祸,令他们十分难过的缘故。──《灵修版圣经注释》
